Summary

This profile showcases different dimensions of performance and the distribution of development
finance in Afghanistan. The
information below was compiled from two sources: AidData's
2014 Reform Efforts Survey
and 2004-2013 Core Database. The
2014 Reform Efforts Survey asked public, private, and civil society leaders in 126 low- and middle-income
countries questions about the most pressing problems they face, their top policy priorities, and how aid agencies
can partner with them most effectively. Respondents working in
Afghanistan evaluated the degree to which
Afghanistan's development partners influenced
the policy agenda (n=100), provided useful advice (n=79),
and how helpful the development partners were in implementation (n=57). The
2004-2013 Core Database represents the most comprehensive dataset tracking international development finance.
